27:3 Yehudah’ regret and suicide
3 When Yehudah (Judas; Grk. Yudas), (the one who had turned him in) saw that he was being sentenced to death, he regretted his actions and returned the payment to the chief priests and elders 4 saying, “I’ve sinned and turned in an innocent man.”
“What’s that got to do with us?” they asked. “You sort out your own problems.”
5 Then Yehudah threw the money down on the temple floor and went off and hanged himself.
6 The chief priests took the money and decided, “We can’t legally deposit the money to the temple treasury because it’s blood money.” 7 They got advice and decided to buy the potter’s field that was for sale to make it a cemetery for people from out of town, 8 so that place got called ‘The field of blood’[ref] until today.
9 And so the message which had been written by the prophet Yirmiyah (Jeremiah) was fulfilled, ‘They took the thirty silver coins, the price of the one who was sold, the price set by the Israelis, 10 and they gave the coins for the potter’s field, as Yahweh directed me.’[ref]
